A seated figure in long, flowing saffron-orange robes with long dark wavy hair and a gold-bead necklace leans forward, smiling, and rests a hand on an elderly man in a white shirt who kneels before them. A second man in a white shirt and white dhoti, wearing a rudraksha-style bead mala and a round blue rosette badge bearing a portrait, stands behind and touches the kneeling man's head. Another person in white and orange is partly visible at the top right. Behind them stand a carved stone relief panel with figures and brass ornamental railings with lamps, and an orange wall. The saffron-robed figure has distinctive long hair, saffron clothing and gold-bead adornments, consistent with a person, seated in a blessing role.
